Maybe kids shouldn’t be using it. It’s reaching the point where parents aren’t doing their jobs so the government should ban it to protect the kids. Just like tobacco, alcohol and porn we didn’t make it cancer and addiction free or remove t

It’s a great point really. They’re both unhealthy products used by large portion of the human population. We treat one with moderation and regulate it heavily. The other we treat with utter gluttony and have not formed any social norms rega

Aren’t some things just inherent with the product though. These are unhealthy products, they should be allowed to exist for what they are instead of trying to make them something they’re not. And I say this as a very light social media user

Yeah but this is footnote territory. The idea of a cap is more appropriate for most advertisers. There’s a minor chance you miscalculate and the cap dissolves. It kind of goes without saying as that always applies, possibly can have high ma

Pepsi is disgusting to me. To even speak of them as substitutes is outrageous to me. If you like it fine. I like both mayo and mustard but if someone doesn’t like mayo I don’t recommend it as a substitute for mustard.

It’s not just that though. You find when going through AI projects in an organization that many times the process is manual for a reason. This isn’t the first wave of “automation” that’s came through. Most things that can be fully automated

Tbf the brick industry helped indirectly and it just happened to be super helpful. They didn’t perform a mass mining of user data across the whole country or a large region. They had very little data to go off other than someone’s past memo

> that is implicitly so easy to grasp for most humans I feel like this is the trap. You’re trying to compare it to a human. Everyone seems to want to do that. But it’s quite simple to see LLMs are quite far still from being human. The ca

They’re still incentivized to show you as much as possible. I don’t think this moves the needle much.

How would the sender know the consequences of sending without the header? You shouldn’t assume anything here. As a sender, you should include it unless you’ve already worked out what the recipient is expecting or how it will be handled. Doi

We’re too busy cranking out disposable e-cig cartridge batteries with our limited battery capacity. It’s like we know what’s right but just can’t seem to do it.

Exactly. Anyone knows how corporations make decisions knows this announcement was lighting a fuse on the bomb. It's just one strategic vision rethink or executive team change away from exploding. They have no long term reason to keep i

This was a tailored response to this context. You trying to apply it generally is quite ridiculous. Governments exist so that individuals can function as a society. Your point is circular (Government<->Individual). Governments are res

This only makes sense if touchscreens are reliable. They are not. You should look at the fault rates. Cheaper isn't better. In any case, we had cheap and good analogue before so let's not pretend like it's not possible. It mi

It’s government’s fault for not regulating it properly. You can’t give individuals choice and then blame them. Just like you can’t give industry the ability to mass produce these things that are so inherently bad for current but especially

The OS provided option can be bare bones, stable, secure and just utilitarian. This promotes having people choose their own tools for the features they want and not really expecting much other than reliability from the OS version. They didn

Right but we’re debating different points. I’m saying there’s room for non-feature complete products in the world, generally it’s not all or nothing. You’re saying this product specifically isn’t going to be successful. I’m not saying anyth

Makes sense. I think this is what I called ergonomics not “strong enough to” which GP comment hinted to needing a significant structural factor. The form factor of a truck bed is certainly optimal compared to most other things of course

Is the mounting problem even real? I’ve shot a 50 cal rifle unmounted and I’d venture to say it could be mounted to anything. It’s mainly for ergonomic / accuracy / rapid fire stability and doesn’t need significant structural supp

Yes the broader economy would crumble without white collar jobs. They employ many blue collar jobs. It would be a huge shock to economic activity

As a client, I could just hire a consultant. There’s no shortage and they have reputation to uphold / less risky to me potentially. It’s basically the same. I pay hire rate for labor knowing only a portion reaches the laborers. I can

Why did they move to figma from adobe? There’s tons of purpose built design software. I use a few different tools just for pixel art recently as I’m designing a game. I could use adobe or probably figma but this purpose built software made

This is being built by a single dev. He only needs a couple thousand users to likely make this a meaningfully successful product to him. You guys are really blowing this out of proportion if you think there’s no room for stuff like this. Th

There is no “right”. You build what you want based on what product vision or user pattern you’re aware of and you sell that. You can still build a healthy sized business on it if you tap into the right niche and have gotten close enough. Th
